GRE Quantitative Reasoning QUESTION #8100
Question 1

Compare the two quantities below.

Column A: $9^7$

Column B: $10{,}000{,}000$

  • Column A is greater
  • Column B is greater✔️
  • The two quantities are equal
  • The relationship cannot be determined from the information given
Correct Answer Explanation

Note that $10{,}000{,}000 = 10^7$.

Comparing $9^7$ vs $10^7$: since the base $9 < 10$ and both exponents are equal and positive, we have $9^7 < 10^7$.

Therefore Column B ($10^7$) is greater than Column A ($9^7$).
